It includes about 120 questions asking for soldiers\u2019 opinions on whether women will be able to handle the physical demands of the job, what the impact on morale will be if women join the infantry and their opinions on whether women will expect special treatment for \u201cfemale problems.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Apparently the survey asks questions about whether or not you&#8217;d follow orders issued by a woman. You know how to answer that one, right? I&#8217;ve had male commanders whose orders I questioned. COB6 and I can name one who tried to get us shot up by friendly fire. <\/p>\n<p>I like the Marine Corps idea better &#8211; they&#8217;re actually putting women through the paces to work out the problems rather than taking the lazy way out with a survey.
